Best thing about Trick or Treat was the yard signs

I am in Springfield, MO and just returned from taking my kids Trick-or-Treating in a neighborhood known for making Halloween fun for kids. Almost every house is decorated and have their lights on. The homeowners are dressed up and really go all out. One house has a cotton candy machine set up in their yard. Several houses have fires for the kids to warm up by. There are fog machines and scary music.

I counted 14 Obama signs and 2 Romney signs in the 4 blocks we covered. Only one of the two houses with Romney signs was handing out candy.

Now, I know that Obama probably won't take Missouri but it was really nice to be in that pocket of blue.

I am just east of you in Douglas county and I think I'm the only one with an Obama yard sign

4. Here in the Bay Area, very few Obama signs...no Romney signs. I guess it's useless to spend here
